"Conflicted" is a song by American composer, songwriter, musician, and music producer Kitt Wakeley, from his 2021 album Symphony of Sinners & Saints. The song was produced by Wakeley and Tre Nagella, and features Joe Satriani on guitar.[1] Released in February, 2021, as the lead single from the album, "Conflicted" charted at #18 on Billboards Hot Hard Rock Chart. The single was recorded at Abbey Road Studio and features the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and London Voices, conducted by Cliff Masterson.[2]

When asked by Ultimate Classic Rock about playing on Wakeley's single, Satriani said, "Playing guitar on Kitt's new album has been a fun, exhilarating experience, and a musical challenge, too. Kitt's huge, cinematic sound makes each one of his songs a powerful sonic journey. I'm so happy I was able contribute to this stellar album."[3]

"Conflicted" received favorable reviews, with Metal Talk writing, "An incredibly potent mix of heavy rock rhythms juxtaposed with a classical orchestra and choir, this is cinematic music at its most powerful and thrilling."[4]
